The
aim of the present study was to test the effect of long-term
application of diet containing Enterococcus faecium
M-74 with organic selenium on tumor induction in transgenic
mice carrying mutation in Apc gene. Heterozygosity for the
Apc1638N mutation in mice causes development of small intestine
and gastric tumors. Feeding of Apc1638N transgenic mice
with enriched diet with probiotic components during 8 months
have shown a minor therapeutic effect on the clinical manifestations
in small intestine in comparison with control group.
